EDM Dielectric Fluid & Graphite Solution

EDM Dielectric Fluid Functionality

EDM graphite solution products are designed to serve numerous purposes. The EDM fluid may serve one or many functions depending on your specific application needs. Some of the critical operations that EDM dielectric fluid provides include:

• Serves as a non-conductive medium within the EDM
• Sparking gap spacing between the electrode and workpiece
• EDM chip removal from the sparking area
• Cools the heated material for EDM chip processing
• Helps prevent contamination by flushing away debris

Maintenance & Replacement for EDM Dielectric Fluid

The type of EDM fluid initially utilized within your machine will determine how often a fluid change is required. A synthetic fluid may never need to be changed, only topped off unless destabilization occurs. A petroleum-based fluid will need to be changed at some point during the life of the EDM machine. Some of the factors that determine when EDM fluid needs to be changed include:

• Type of materials being machined
• Efficiency and quality of EDM fluid filters
• Type of original fluid
• Type of EDM work that is performed

Based on the machine's overall functionality, laboratory analysis can help determine when a petroleum-based EDM graphite solution fluid needs to be replaced. After five or more years of use, old EDM fluid can also start to smell bad and change color. If this occurs, the EDM fluid should be changed.

EDM Graphite Solution Options: Choosing the Proper Dielectric Fluid

Choosing the proper dielectric fluid for your EDM application can often be complex. A wide range of standards must be considered before making a final decision. These standards include the degree of metal removal, electrode wear, and particle suspension. Ultimately, the machine's manufacturer should be consulted before any final decisions regarding the type of EDM fluid used within your machine.
